I had a back injury almost two decades ago and I still feel it from time to time. It has to be one of the tougher injuries to heal, and I can speak from experience that if you push even a tiny bit too hard one time you will be set back.

The team has been doing all right, and I think the priority will be (and should be) to have Spezza ready to go for the start of next season. There is no point to pushing it for the same of maybe winning one or two extra playoff games in one post season.
